H4. Relating special issues to the serial as a whole
A special issue of a serial usually covers a particular topic. It may have a distinctive title or it may simply be called "special issue" or the equivalent. Some special issues are published within the numbering system of a serial; others are published outside the numbering system of a serial. The statement identifying a special issue as such may be presented formally in the publication or it may presented informally (e.g., embedded in text).
H4.2. Special issues outside the numbering of a serial
If the special issue is outside the numbering of the serial, relate the monograph to the serial title by giving a uniform title added entry (700-75X) for the serial. If the statement identifying the special issue as such is not presented formally, give the information in a note in order to justify the added entry.

H4.3. Special issues within the numbering of a serial
Special issues that are published within the numbering of the serial are related to the serial by means of a simple series statement (440) if the serial title will be traced in the form in which it appears on the piece. If the serial title appearing on the piece is not in the form in which it will be traced, give an uncontrolled series statement (490) with a series added entry (8XX). If the statement identifying the special issue as such is not presented formally, give the information in a note in order to justify the added entry.
